23 degrees up to around 22, possibly 23 degrees once again. as we move out of sunday into monday, the high pressure continues to drift off into the north sea. the wind will pick up, but coming in off the near continent, a warmer source of air, so bank holiday monday could be warmer still. we could see potentially temperatures peaking at 23 or 2a celsius, and that is above average for the time of year. and it does look as though this trend will continue for the week ahead, and it is half term, just getting that little bit fresher as we go through the week, but a lot of dry weather for our first week ofjune.

ready, i'm ready. you hear the echoing gunshots. tonight is supposed to be the coldest night of the year, so that's good, as i head into my unheated church room for the night. this is an incredible . experience on an old, disused railway line, _ very shuddery, but exhilarating! hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from tokyo,

home to the bullet train, arguably the world's best sushi and capsule hotels, the uniquelyjapanese place to rest your head. but you also might end up bumping it if you wake up in the middle of the night. and whilst we wait to get back on the road again, this week, we thought we'd take a look back at some of the strangest places we've stayed on the show over the years. and while they might not be as cramped as a capsule hotel, they've left their mark and memories in other ways. well, let's kick off this week with a trip that mike made to bosnia back in 2018, to the city of sarajevo, which saw so much fighting and bloodshed in the �*90s as the former yugoslavia tore itself apart. mike met a man there that used memories from that time to create a unique but traumatic place to stay. lying in a balkan valley, and studded with ancient mosques, synagogues and churches, it's fair to say that bosnia and herzegovina's stunning capital, sarajevo, is often unjustly overlooked by tourists.

gunfire. 25 years ago, this was a very different place. bosnian serbs sat in the hills and laid siege to sarajevo as the break—up of yugoslavia led to nationalism and inter—ethnic violence. 10,000 people died in this city, in some of the most horrific fighting europe's seen in modern times. it's cast a long, distressing shadow and in an attempt to help me understand what it was like being there back then, i've been sent here to a hostel in the city centre. hello. 01, nice to meet you. 01 is your name? yes, it's my father's war codename. and this is the war hostel? yes, it's just this way. welcome. wow. inside, 01 attempts to simulate

the experience of living in sarajevo during the siege. it's quite something different, isn't it? it is definitely something different. there are gunfire sounds that never get switched off. electricity is run from a car battery. the windows are covered, and you sleep on the floor on a rectangular foam. underneath the hostel, there's a collection of relics from the war — paraphernalia salvaged from 01's walks on what used to be the front line. and there's the bunker, a recreation of the front—line facility once used by 01's father, from fighting up in the hills. we're getting ready for a night in the bunker, 01 is in here preparing the room for us, and he has reinforced the point that it's going to be quite intense. we can hear the echoing gunshots much louder down here.

can see the smoke already. not many people choose to sleep down here, as the experience is pretty intense. distant echoing gunfire. one of the rules that 01 has for the bunker is no timekeeping devices. i had to forfeit my watch and my cell phone before he left. so i have no idea what time it is. they left me in here about 11.30pm, maybe it's been an hour. a couple of the sounds they play, whenever they sound, justjolts me. distant rumbling explosions and gunfire.

well, the night's been a blur of pseudo half—rest, where i'm not really quite asleep, not really quite awake. 0k, well, there's some daylight. which i guess is a good sign. don't exactly feel like a fresh daisy right now, but the world seems to be awake. i take my leave of 01 in the morning, but one question has been bothering me overnight. is this all in good taste? well, somebody could think that we're playing games or war games, or something like that. it's not the point. the point is to just give you a small glimpse of what it was like for people who were forced to live

through this, like me and my family, people who were forced to go on the frontline, how there was no choice. well, thank you so much. that was a night i will remember for the rest of my life. thank you very much for staying here. really appreciate it. thank you for thinking of us. thanks, 01. mike reporting from bosnia back in 2018. well, the year before that, christa got a slightly more restful night, sleeping inside a church deep in the english countryside. she was trying a spot of champing, or church camping, although something tells me it was the right location but wrong time of year. let's see how she got on. here, in this barely used norman church, is my bed for the night.

so it's very reassuring, walking through a graveyard to get to your accommodation. i'm here for a spot of champing — church camping. it's available at 12 historic venues around the country, beautiful ancient sites that are rarely, if ever, used as places of mass worship any more. a very big hotel room. money raised from letting champers like me stay means the crumbling buildings are spared a slow, inevitable decline. so i'm keen to give this champing a go. where will i be sleeping? so you'll be sleeping possibly in the executive pews, because it's meant to be the warmest part of the church. i'd expect nothing less! it's good that it's a box pew, because it stops the draughts. and so here you are. there are a few nice touches here —

that good old staple, the tea tray, and a little basket of goodies with biscuits and wine. i mean, it's only 6pm and it's already cold — safe to say champing is usually more of a summer activity. at least the pub next door looks like it's going to be warm. why would anyone want to go champing? because you get to spend such a lot of time in truly amazing historic buildings. the way people usually visit historic churches, and i've seen it, is that they go to the door, they pop their head round, they go, ooh, there's a font, there's an altar, there's a very nice stained glass, that's very pretty, and then they leave. and what you miss by doing that is you don't get to dwell in the place and really feeling for it. somebody at the pub just told me that tonight is supposed to be the coldest night of the year, so that's good, as i head into my

unheated church room for the night. owl hoots. i've got my airbed. sleeping bag. so i'vejust got into bed, and it's quite comfy, actually. quite cosy, given how cold it is, and i can see my breath. i'm going to try to go to sleep now. and try and forget that i'm entirely surrounded by graves. it is quite cold, notably quite cold. i think there's a jolly good reason the champing is usually only

done during the summer. because these old churches don't have nice central heating, but it's oddly peaceful, actually. it's cold but peaceful. deciding to come champing in the dead of winter was a really terrible idea. birds tweet. morning. hi! how are you doing? i thought you might want some coffee. you are my favourite person in the world. brilliant, and some bacon sandwiches as well. you, you...welcome! how did you get on? oh, yeah, it was great.

i mean, it's the middle of winter, when you don't normally run champing! i was going to say, there's a reason why we run champing from spring to the end of summer. but how about the atmosphere, the experience? i tell you what, i was surprised, actually, because i'm quite a scaredy cat. but really, the second i sort of actually settled down to sleep... it's really peaceful, it's really lovely. you just sort of, you know, there's no sound from outside, and the atmosphere was surprisingly quiet. sort of calm. and all through the night, i had no moment of being alarmed. the champing season starts around mid—march, a far more sensible time of the year to try this. christa trying a spot of out—of—season champing back in 2017. stay with us, because still to come on the travel show: we look back at the time rajan spent a night

at a station with no passengers, here injapan. so let's see where the night train takes me. good night. and lucy gets a taste of sleeping on mars, deep in a cave in spain. i've not been in the top bunk since i was eight years old, so i'm not going to lie, i'm actually really excited about getting in the top bunk. now, when it comes to strange places that the travel show team have stayed over the years, there is one particular stand—out. it's that time that lucy went to spain tojoin a group of scientists looking to recreate life on mars deep inside a spanish cave. and it would have beenjust plain rude to turn down an invite to a sleepover. so clearly, this is not a space shuttle, but mars, for the purpose of this exercise, is going to be in a remote cave in arredondo, and i have a feeling my sci—fi fantasies are about to become unlocked.

the idea is to simulate how hard it will be to survive on another planet, with the barest of tools. this particular expedition isjust for the night and is geared towards scientists who'll be doing experiments as if they're on the red planet. wow. my god! down we go. but before any exploration, the team need to change. this is the bit i've actually been waiting for, my very own space suit, although it's a lot thinner than i thought. i thought it was going to be like this giant space suit that i was going to find a little bit unwieldy, but i think i can handle that. in fact, i think i've got an outfit like this. i look ready, ifeel ready, i'm ready. just one final touch.

i'm ready for my ascent into martian land. i'm a little bit scared too! laughter. how's this? laughter. our aim is to get to ariz, our base, where we will be spending the night. it's anticipated that the first colonists to mars will also have to live underground in caves or lava tubes to avoid interstellar radiation. and there's no time to waste on the experiments. ok, so i'm collecting some samples of the water that's trickling from above, it's really quite cool. so the guys have just made quite an interesting discovery. they've discovered a rock showing signs of photosynthesis, which is strange because there's no light down here.

so this is a pretty incredible breakthrough for these guys. finally, we make it to ariz. and it's a bit of a squeeze in the decompression chamber. but the team are immediately analyzing their samples. we have a table... the pod is set up with everything to meet your basic needs. and after all that work, it's time for dinner. couscous with chicken. wild berry yoghurt. they all sound the same. i'm going for one of my favorite dishes — bolognese. the water's in, give it a stir,

leave for ten minutes... it looks a little bit like plastic! but i'm so hungry. that is actually quite nice. whilst the others finish up dinner, i sneak out to find out more about the project. also, any excuse to get suited up. one of the goals is to extend the stays in the cave to see how people cope. very soon, we'll need teams of scientists and engineers and people from all areas of knowledge and science, spending one month, several months, more than a year in this station. more than a year? wow. when you're talking about isolating people for several months,

or more than one year, there are so many things that come in that would be so useful for future space exploration. this experience isn't cheap. for non—scientists, it's about £5,000 for the 30—day experience, which includes preparation, training and about three days in the cave... ..i mean mars. so this is where i'm sleeping tonight. it's the top bunk of a bunk bed. i've not been in the top bunk since i was eight years old, so i'm not going to lie, i'm actually really excited about getting in the top bunk. i've got a sleeping bag, so it's like a really cool sci—fi sleepover over with all my scientist buddies! although i'm not sure what time they get up in the morning. i have a feeling it's going to be very, very, very early. in space, they say that you can't hear anyone scream, so in astroland, i'm really hoping you can't

hear anyone snore. lucy trying to get some sleep in that mars mock—up in spain early last year. well, our next film is from right here injapan, where, in 2018, rajan headed north to the island of hokkaido, where he met a man with a lifelong passion for railways. and he got to stay in a station with no passengers and no scheduled trains. i'd arranged to stay in a unique guest house. tomioka worked on trains most of his life. timetable.

when he stopped working on the trains, he restored an old disused station house back to its former glory. so this used to be a railway line here? in contrast to the japanese mainland, much of the urban life in hokkaido first developed around the rail infrastructure. some of the old local train routes closed with the loss of industry. but for some people, like tomioka, this is not the end of the line. this is an incredible experience on an old, disused railway line. very shuddery but exhilarating, absolutely exhilarating! it's great, really good. it's a world away from this country's high—speed bullet trains.

but what a way to experience the nature this island is famous for.

i've got my sleeper carriage berth, so let's see where the night train takes me. good night. well, i hope you've enjoyed our look back through the archives, and it's managed to satisfy your wanderlust. let's hope we can all start travelling again soon. in the meantime, keep an eye out for us next time when... as the uk starts to open up to tourists, we begin an epic journey across the country in an all—electric take on a classic british motor. to kick off, ade's in the scottish highlands where he meets the conservationist saving britain's largest national park. what we're trying to do is restore natural processes. so we want to see the forest continue to march right up the hills. and if we're able to come back in a couple of hundred years,

we'd hopefully see some trees on the skyline. and it looks absolutely stunning. it is. it's beautiful. it's a fantastic place to work. well, that one looks like a good one. i hope you can join us for that, but until next time, from all of the travel show team here in tokyo, it's goodbye. hello, there. finally, we got there. it has been a miserable month of may, but we are closing out this bank holiday weekend with some dry, settled in sunny weather. this bank holiday weekend with some dry, settled in sunny weather.— settled in sunny weather. this was dorset earlier _ settled in sunny weather. this was dorset earlier on _ settled in sunny weather. this was dorset earlier on this _ settled in sunny weather. this was dorset earlier on this morning. - dorset earlier on this morning. there has been some low cloud, mist

and fog around. we are optimistic that that will thin and break. the morning satellite pictures showing how extensive the cloud was, in some areas they can offer some drizzle. the sunshine is nibbling away at it nicely now. in the afternoon, more sunshine will come through. temperatures will rise, and that potentially could trigger an odd isolated shower. highs of 21 or 22 degrees. if you are out with friends and family this afternoon, don't forget uv levels, the son is very strong, so we are expecting it to be how widely across the countries. the sunshine and want to into the early evening, so it should be fine and dry for a barbecue. through the night, we could see look like just rolling in off the north sea. temperatures will hold up nicely, ranging from six up to 10 degrees, but it does potentially mean another

murky start along the exposed north sea coast. the high pressure remains with us, slowly drifting eastwards. not much wind on sunday, but a good deal of dry weather once again in the in the forecast. the sunshine will nibble away at the a lovely prospect for many in the afternoon with just the outside chance of an isolated shower, but you would be unlucky to catch one. temperatures up unlucky to catch one. temperatures up to potentially 23 degrees. moving into monday, the high pressure continues to drift off into the north sea. winds will pick up, what's coming in off the near continent, so warmer air, so bank holiday monday could be warmer still, potentially picking a 2k celsius. that is above average for the time of year. it does look as though this trend will continue for our week ahead and it is half term, just keeping fracture as we go through the week, but a lot of dry

weather for our first week.
